1. th'enperaupn oggny tank car, and the-two fluids may pumped I out simultaneously, one through one section operator may from the ground reach the chain 24 and by pulling on the same may tilt the pipe sections 19 of'the tilting arm, bringing the latter into the vertical position shown in Fig. 3. In this vertical position of the tilting arm, the rear cross-bar 20 thereof will lie against the face of the inclined mast section 12 between the eyes '25 and-26. The

the invention as limited to these details, nor

hasp #27 may therefore be swung over this cross-bar to engage the eye 25, and if a padlock be then engaged with this eye the. parts may be simply and securely locked in i.nop eratii'e position as shown in Fig. 2.

Although I have shown and described in considerable detail one specific embodiment of niy invention, it is to be understood that this showing and description is illustrative only, andfor the purpose ofmaking my invention more clear, and that I do not regard to any of them, except in so far as I have included such limitations within the terms of the following claims, in which it is my intention to claim all novelty inherent in my invention as broadly as is possible in view of the prior art.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. An unloading apparatus for'portable tanks, comprising a -stationary mast, including a fluid conduit member, a tilting arm mounted to rock upon the mast and including a fluid conduit member, and a depending suction conduit member carried by the arm to enter a tank positioned beneath the same, "all of said parts being normally in open communication with each other.

2. An unloading apparatus for portable tanks, comprising a stationary mast, including a fluid conduit member, a tilting arm mounted to rock upon the mast and including a fluid conduitmember, :1 depending suction. conduit member carried by the said arm to enter a tank positioned beneath the same, all of said parts being normally in said parts being normally in tical position. I 3. An unloading apparatu tanks, coinprising a stationary tubular mast s for portable.-

a tubular tilting .arinmounted to rdok upon. the mast, and a tubular depending suction" member carried by said arm to enter a tankpositioned beneath the same, all of said parts. being normally'in open communication with each other.

4; An unloading apparatus for portable tanks, comprising a tubular mast member, a hollow trunnion communicating with the bore of said mast member and mounted to rock thereon, a tubular tiltin arm carried by said hollow trunnion, an a depending suction member carried'by the arm to enter a tank" positioned beneath the same, all of open communis cation with each other. j

5. An unloading apparatus for-portable tanks, comprising a pair of spaced parallel tubular mast members, hollow trunnions car ried thereby, a tilting arm mounted upon the said hollow trunnions and comprising a'pair. 4

of parallel tubular members each in conimunication with oneof said trunnions and. the corresponding mast member, and a. de-

pendin suction member carried by each of said tiibular arm niem ers to enter a tank positioned beneath the same.

(5. An unloading apparatusfor portable tanks, comprising three tubular mast members spaced apart at their lower ends and connected at their upper ends, a pair of hoilow trunnions' carried by :two of 'said mast members, a tilting arincarried by and extend- "ing on both sides of said trunnions and in ing tubular sections in communication the with, depending suctionimembers carried by.
